If you’re a fan of funny and creative YouTube food content and/or know and watch Binging with Babish or the Bon Appetit test kitchen’s videos, you’ll love Sohla El-Waylly’s new series on Babish (Andrew Rea’s) YouTube channel, Stump Sohla.
The premise of the series is pretty simple: Sohla is an amazing, talented, knowledgeable cook who can do pretty much anything, so Babish’s goal is to try and stump her by adding randomized twists to challenges she’ll face. There’s a wheel that gets spun and everything.
So far, there have been a handful of episodes, including things like making scary candy, a seven course tasting menu only with ingredients found at a convenience store, 18th century mac and cheese, and lighting soup and ice cream on fire. Sohla has impressively navigated each of these challenges with skill and grace, sometimes even making the challenge even more challenging by adding her own parameters.
Babish hasn’t managed to stump Sohla on the show just yet, but will he be able to in future episodes? We’ll just have to find out by continuing to watch.
